Brake and clutch levers
« on: May 09, 2019, 04:30:17 AM »
Does anyone know if I can use modern sport bike levers/master cylinder (like from an R6 or GSXR) with my stock caliper and clutch? I assume the clutch lever will work because it’s a simple cable pull. But will a modern sport bike master cylinder mate up to the stock caliper if I get a custom brake line? Looking at used oem levers off eBay.

Just get the right size for your setup. Old or new style doesn't matter, but piston size does. Generally 14mm for single disk front end, 5/8 for twin disk.

^^ What Banker said. Make sure piston size matches.
